Revel scooters back to NYC streets after 3 fatal crashes


Revel’s mopeds will return to New York City streets Thursday morning, city transportation officials said.

The return of the scooter part comes one month after it stopped its fleet of 3,000 cars after three fatal collisions in the span of just 10 days.

Two of the three victims were not wearing helmets at the time of their crashes, according to police reports.

Mayor Bill de Blasio had said the fight against transportation would not be welcomed back until city officials “are satisfied it can be done safely.”

Since then, the company has added mandatory in-app “how-to” videos, as well as a requirement for riders to snap shots of themselves in their helmets before boarding.

Revel is now also asking for a 20-minute safety test, which a rep said consists of 21 questions.

The scooter stock service, launched in New York City in 2018, grew in popularity after the start of the coronavirus crisis in March.
